   ...And I was thinking what a skillful restoration it was, to not over-restore beyond 'as new'.
   Superb, John. An absolute joy to behold.

Yep, nearly complete!!. Thanks for all the comments, will be going to Silverstone classic and W&W. Not sure it will be ready for the national day.
   
   What I'm also going to do is document the restore and provide all the great contacts I have found who have that very useful bit that are hard to find.
   
   Thanks
   
   John.
